COMMENTS: My husband is military & works a high-stress job. I'm always looking for ways to help him relax when he's home, and he's been enjoying solid lotion bars I've been making to use as massage bars. Previously, I'd been using beeswax in my recipe, but when I saw this Smooth & Creamy Lotion Bar Additive, I decided to give it a try. WOW! It gives EXCELLENT results! I find the lotion/massage bars melt more smoothly with contact on the skin, and glide across the skin a little more smoothly as well! Gives a wonderfully creamy feel, making application feel as smooth as butter, and absorbs very nicely into the skin too, leaving a very pleasant, moisturized feel! Was so impressed with the massage bars I made for my husband with this that I started using a bar myself as a lotion bar when I get out of the shower. I apply in the morning, and my skin has felt soft & hydrated ALL day long! I still enjoy using traditional beeswax too & will continue to do so, but I'm really loving the results I've gotten with this product also! I find the bars melt a bit easier with the heat of skin contact, making for an A+ solid massage bar that feels silky-smooth! Highly recommend!

COMMENTS: Every once in a while you come across a product that really helps with a problem you've been having. You know, graininess! We all experience it and don't want it. This in my opinion, is the holy Grail to butters! I added this to some terribly grainy lotion bars I couldn't bear too throw away (but I knew were destined for the trash) and Walla fixed!! Gave my mom one as a present. ?? I won't use a butter without it!

"Just What I Needed For Lotion Bars"

COMMENTS: I have been making lotion bars which are a combo fibromyalgia and cellulite mix of essential oils. They have worked great, but I have had some issues with getting the mixture just right so that the bars are smooth, creamy, and go on nicely. The bars were still great, but I wanted them just a touch more creamy.
I tried this additive for the first time yesterday and am THRILLED with the results. It is the perfect way to round out the recipe. At last, my bars are perfect. I will be buying this regularly from now on.
I simply substitute a little bit of this for beeswax in the recipe and I am good to go!

WSP Questions And Answers

"I am making a deodorant with 5% Candelilla Wax. Since Candelilla Wax is harder than beeswax, what percentage of Smooth & Creamy Additive would you recommend? "

"I am using this for the first time and find that my cocoa-shea body lotion is grainy now that I've added the smooth & creamy. Did I do something wrong? I heated everything up to mix and even stick blended to try to get rid of the "grainy beeswax-smooth & creamy" but I still have the "sandy" feeling in my lotion, I only used a 1/2 tsp per 16 oz of lotion."

Staff Answer
We are not sure of the product you are trying to create. This ingredient is used to make a lotion bar, lip balm, etc. Here is a link to the recipes we have made with the additive which may help you see what type of products to use this with: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/smooth-creamy-lotion-bar-additive.aspx?Mode=VIDEOS. Thank you.

"Can I add Smooth & Creamy Lotion Bar Additive to Melt & Pour soap to make a harder bar of soap? If I can do I melt it separately and then add it to the melted soap base or can I melt it along with the soap base. How much do I use per pound of soap? Thank You."

Staff Answer
This can be added to MP Soap either by melting first or adding to the unmelted soap and melting together in microwave. You might start with 0.50 oz. per pound of soap and adjust accordingly.

Staff Answer
Yes, we do list this information on our website but we recommend using in a lotion bar. We would recommend added a small amount (1-2%) until you get the consistency you want. This may harden your butters if adding too much.

Staff Answer
This is an ingredient derived from beeswax. We have added this to our Soap Frosting Recipe to help the product harden once it has been piped onto your soap. It also helps keep shea butter lotion bars from becoming grainy and leaves lotion bars feeling smooth and creamy.

"Can Emulsifying Wax Soft & Silky by Crafters Choice be a good substitute for the Smooth and Creamy Lotion Bar Additive? I am making a stick lotion bar and one that also fits into a tin out of the same batch. Thank you."

Staff Answer
The ingredient listed for the Smooth & Creamy Lotion Bar Additive is Polyglycerol-3 Beeswax. Polyglycerol-3 Beeswax is a derivative of natural beeswax in which the free fatty acids have been converted to polyglycerols esters. This form of beeswax is know to be suitable for sensitive skin.

Hello,
I believe that it would be best to omit the beeswax from the recipe or use it very sparingly. This is because this lotion bar additive is a derived form of beeswax already.
Thank You For Your Question

Hello,
I would recommend using this additive at the heated phase at 5% of your total batch weight. For example melt your oils add the additive in, let it cool (and revert to its original state) and then whip it as usual.
Thank you for your question
